Bad things to get fired over

Imitate South Park characters for the duration of an important client meeting. Terrorize the staff by pretending to be "a big, angry bear". Hide office silverware in the photocopier. Play Orson Welles' War of the Worlds radio broadcast on the loudspeaker system. Throw out office equipment in an effort to, "appease our new, alien overlords." Call in sick with projectile leprosy. Stalk yourself and send complaints to Human Resources about your Evil Twin. Draw "tattoos" on coworkers with Bic pens. Form rival gangs and take over hallways. Tell your coworkers you can tell the future using paperclips. Predict that everyone…

Note to Self: No. 6,444

There is a vile invention, one which I was seduced into buying in a weak moment. The product is known as the SudaCare Shower Soother, a blue tablet that when dropped into a shower stall, alleges to release menthol vapors, much as a cyanide capsule does to a condemned prisoner. The cyanide capsule, I am led to believe, smells faintly of almond. This would be far preferable to the scent offered by the Shower Soother, whose own musk resembles a cough drop that has been generously marinaded in kerosene and set ablaze. Note to Self: Find the group responsible for…

More words and phrases we hate

Topic suggestion by Sherri P. "Don't be a hater." I prefer, "Don't be a ne'erdowell. Beyotch." "Guys, let's really think outside the box on this one, k?" "I think we've screwed the pooch." I really hate it when people make compound words from words that shouldn't be compound. For example, "Whatsay you and I have a looksee at a couplethree of those?" "Irregardless" Not a real word, dipshit. "I'm a fiscal Republican." Like that somehow absolves you of sin. "Beware of Internet predators" As if we have rabid jackals lurking in our computers. "Are you aware that you're wearing white…

Overused Movie Clichés #4: Cops & Strippers

In any strip club, there will only only three men at the catwalk, watching the strippers. These men will only hand out one dollar tips, yet the strippers will somehow earn $1,000+ a night and live in lavish apartments. There will also be one bouncer in the strip club and a detective at the bar who "knows the girls". None of the strippers are ever crack or heroin addicts. All male action leads are able deliver straight face comedic lines in the face of danger. There is always a parking spot in front of any hospital, police station, movie theatre.…

Spa Day for Men

I was instant messaging with my dear friend Minnie, yesterday. She mentioned that she had just gone to one of those fancy, all-day spa treatments. She had a chocolate body wrap and then 500 naked slave men washed her in Crystal champagne while virgin turtledoves flew down from heaven and fed her cheese nips.Or something like that.I replied that men would probably enjoy things like that if we didn't have to beat ourselves up afterward to stay manly. Later it dawned on me that if men did have a spa day, it would be a jillion times cooler than any…

More people we dislike #13: Long queue edition

The earth mother who holds up the entire queue by taking 18 minutes to arrange her carry-on in the overhead compartment, and then complains that the flight is late taking off The prat who holds up the line at the coffeehouse by demanding a 142° latte. As if they can tell. The senior citizen who unfolds 39 crumpled coupons for the cashier (all of which expired a decade ago), and demands they be honored. The buffoon at the ATM who makes everyone wait because she doesn't know her PIN. The screaming brat who holds up the line through the X-Ray…

Open letter to Continental Airlines

Dear Continental, First of all let me thank you for all the exciting new terms I learned this week, while traveling on your aircraft. News to me: I thought "departure" meant "the time the plane will leave". I now know that it means, "the time we decide to announce that your plane will be two hours late." I thought a "Priority" sticker on luggage meant it would arrive first. I now know that it means "Low Priority" and will arrive last on the baggage carousel. I thought "baggage handling" meant by humans, not Hellboy. I guess the old Samsonite ads…

Fashion Tips for the Clueless

For the Gents (written by Davezilla) Experimental facial hair will warm the jowls and frighten the fair sex. "Prison-bitch" pants went the way of the Dodo. Take note. There is a fine line between looking ruggedly unshaven and looking like you've spent a weekend bender with Gary Busey. "Manpris" (capris for men) can only be worn by Belgian hairdressers. There is a finite limit to the number of clip-on electronic devices that you can acceptably wear, and that number is zero. For the Ladies (written by Natalie) Only vagabonds and homeless are allowed to wear more than three layers at…

How to speak in Programmer

When they say: "The SMTP mail server may be acting erratically today." They really mean: "Turn me down for a date, will you? See if you get email anymore." When they say: "Is that really a good user experience?" They really mean: "You're cutting into my World of Warcraft time." When they say: "You haven't provided the proper documentation." They really mean: "I've ruined the project. I plan on blaming you. Somehow." When they say: "That's not a feasible timeframe." They really mean: "You're cutting into my World of Warcraft time." When they say: "I like your t-shirt." They really…
